The Smashing Pumpkins

In the summer of 2019, when The Smashing Pumpkins took the stage at Forum Karlín in Prague for their live performance of "Knights of Malta," they were riding the wave of their 2018 album, *Shiny and Oh So Bright, Vol. 1 / LP: No Past. No Future. No Sun.* This album marked a significant return to form for the band, especially after a period of lineup changes and varying musical explorations. It's interesting to note that the performance captured on this recording came just after a vibrant reunion of key members, including Billy Corgan, James Iha, and Jimmy Chamberlin. The energy and excitement in Prague reflected a band that was rejuvenated and ready to reconnect with their roots while still pushing creative boundaries. This blend of nostalgia and innovation is a hallmark of The Smashing Pumpkins' enduring legacy, which continues to captivate fans across generations.
